I've installed Linux Zorin OS 17 Core and Pro on 5 workstations so far. They all are considerably faster than they were under Windows 10. I was ready to retire and recycle the laptops/PCs, but decided on a couple of upgrades to the workstations to extend their lives for years. I really like the ability to scale the desktop to fit with the view the end user wants.

Man you nailed it perfectly, installing now just for the review you made

“Life’s short buddy, you’ve got to live faster!” Thanks for somehow always making me smile or laugh out loud while watching your videos! I think I saw in my last software update in Zorin 16.3 that the upgrader tool is now available, can’t wait to try it out. Even though I’ve read that it isn’t necessary to backup the home directory for the upgrade, I’m going to err on the side of caution since this is the first instance of this feature I’ve ever experienced being available in a Linux distribution. Thanks again for turning me onto Zorin 5 months ago after using Linux Mint for 9 years, keep up the great content!

Desktop Cube was long time ago part of Linux world... Compiz rings the bell.

why do very few Youtubers "get" Zorin? Most say it's great for beginners, which it is, but it's great for power users too, great video

[asphixmx]

This is the biggest and most complete software store I have ever seen in a Linux Distro. I am amazed. So easy, so many apps! Great.

[IrishKingzz]

I have been using desktop cube since Ubuntu 6.06 crazy to see it make a big come back

I'm currently using Zorin OS 17 on an older laptop (Core i3-2350M, 4 GB DDR3, 128GB SSD), and it runs smoothly. The visual effects occasionaly lag, given the older hardware, but the OS never freezes. The OS is very stable. I use it for university.

Desktop cube and the switcher etc are all part of compiz that's been around for years!

[robcr]

Is there anyway to upgrade without having to do a complete new install and losing existing files?

Don't know how my system got really slow after installing zorin os
Dell Inspiron Laptop specifications 4gb ram 500gb hdd but it's still lagging.
Any os can you suggest for this specification?

[christopherfothergil]

What can i say, Well it is simply the best distro I have tried, everything just works.

[MarkMayhew]

it has the crowd cheering and dancing?!

You are really a Great Linux Youtuber, and I've started my own linux channel after getting inspired by you, but I wanna ask you, Is being a Linux Content Creator worth it? Like Does YT pays okay ?
Can you Tell me The RPM of a linux video?

[rsquaremedia-innovationlab]

could you make a video on how to make zorin 17 faster? i've looked on youtube and google and havent found anything that makes sense to a noob (me). Also, i'm running on acer aspire i5 5th generation with 8 gb ram. Zorin OS isnt buttery smooth as i expected. so either zorin os isnt the right os for my hardware or it needs to be configured so as to run faster or i need a more light weight distro like maybe antix? any recommendations?

[NoelLackey]

Great software, I am using the Pro version but cannot get bluetooth to work

[matthewlathum]

I run Zorin 16.3 Pro so far and was very happy, unfortunately after installing Zorin 17 Pro my happiness was gone. Tor not working, flameshot not working, and many other applications I used before are not working like on Zorin 16.3 Pro. Possibly, the Wayland system is a problem. To back my happiness I back to my previous Zorin 16.3 Pro.

[sat_talk]

Please tell me..does this OS support Multi-monitor connection.? that is can we connect One monitor to the Laptop HDMI output to get a Mirror or Extension of OS ?
